Groupage or Dedicated Container?
Groupage: shared container shipping
Groupage allows your belongings to travel in a container shared with other shipments. It can be a practical option for smaller household moves or selected furniture and personal effects.
Your shipment waits for consolidation before dispatch. Groupage generally takes longer than a dedicated container and suits customers with flexibility around their moving plans.
Dedicated container shipping
A dedicated container is reserved exclusively for your shipment. It can suit larger household moves or customers who prefer an exclusive container.
There is no need to wait for other customers’ shipments to complete the container. Sailing schedules, clearance and destination arrangements still affect the shipment’s progress.
We’ll help you compare both options based on your shipment volume and requirements.
